The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

The ancients collectively called the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties "Three Dynasties", while the Song Dynasty, together with the previous Han Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty were also called the "Last Three Dynasties". The so-called "Three Dynasties" are the beautiful era ideally in the ancients. Chen Yinke, a master of contemporary historians.

He believed that it was not only Xia, Shang, Zhou, even Han and Tang, but also Han and Tang dynasties, but also "the culture of the Chinese nation has evolved for thousands of years and was created in the Zhao and Song dynasties."

The ancients' "Three Dynasties" theory had a strong tendency to respect the ancient and retro, while the Chen family's "creation" theory is not without reason. Indeed, the Song Dynasty surpassed the previous dynasty and was another new peak in ancient Chinese history.

; Compared with countries around the world, it surpassed countries in the world. It was the most economically developed, most prosperous, and most advanced technology in the world at that time.

Severance and unification have their own relativity. The Song Dynasty did end the situation of division and separatism since the late Tang and Five Dynasties. The traditional view also believes that the establishment of Song eliminated the division and realized the unity of the Central Plains dynasty, marking the situation of division and separatism since the late Tang and Five Dynasties.

The end of the country marked the reconstruction of a unified feudal state. But if the vision is relaxed to the scope of China, compared with the Song Dynasty, the Liao, Jin and Xixia were no longer the surrounding ethnic regimes, but in politics.

A minority dynasty that can compete with both military and economic aspects for a long time.

Compared with the Song Dynasty, the Liao Dynasty founded by the Khitans should be ranked first in its founding states and territory. In the fourth year of Tianyou in Tang Dynasty, Yelu Abaoji became the leader of the tribal alliance of the Khitans through tribal elections. Ten years later, Yelu Abaoji

The tribal alliance system was abolished and officially called the emperor. The country was named Khitan. The territory of the Liao Dynasty was located in the east, and it was located in the Uishi-King'an Mountains and the Okhotsk Sea in the north, and it reached the line of the Selenge River and the Shileka River in the north, and connected to Eer in the west.

The upper reaches of the Qis River are located in the south of today's Jinhai River, Ba County, Hebei Province, Yanmen Pass, Shaanxi Province, and the Northern Song Dynasty. It crosses the border between Hetao and Xixia in the west. The territory is actually larger than that of the Northern Song Dynasty.

In terms of great unification of territory, the Song Dynasty was indeed not comparable to the Han and Tang dynasties. From the perspective of Great China, it is also reasonable to regard the Song Dynasty as the so-called "post-Three Kingdoms" or "post-Southern and Northern Dynasties".

In this period, we have to admit that the division was still mainstream and unification was not realized. The Song Dynasty could not be called a unified dynasty...

Simple enrichment of the people cannot fully stimulate the people's sense of national pride and crisis. Now, in the context of the Southeast Civil Rebellion and the League of Jin and Liao, the banner of strengthening the army is more sacred and correct, and it also makes people feel fierce and fascinated.

China, the great goal of recreating China will also make those literati who care about the world strong and intense. Now, the martial arts of Yang Shi and others have just won the Western Xia. The paper talks about governing the world and helping the people is also a set of tricks.

It is not impossible to achieve this lofty goal, and these frustrated scholars who have experienced vicissitudes in the officialdom and have been tragically excluded. They feel that they have met a wise master!

Of course, Zhao Qi would not miss this opportunity, but he deceived all these people. His goal was to survive in the upcoming troubled times and not be a slave to the country, but in order to realize his wish, he would not be able to do so.

Not drawing Zhang Dabing will make these old men who want to achieve success in history fill their hunger. But he wants to take the opportunity to strengthen his military and prepare for the national disaster he faces, but there are two things that need to be dealt with urgently - punish corruption and corruption.

Win people's hearts; the other is that there are still four months left before autumn harvest. How to solve the problem of many people eating...

"Everyone, the situation in the northwest is very tense now. The court has set up a basin in Hedong and Hezhong, occupying fertile land and invading the ranch of foreign troops. Some officials have taken the opportunity to fill their pockets. Now this unhealthy trend has spread to several states, causing public resentment!"

Seeing that everyone had listened to his words and temporarily gave up the debate on the ruling philosophy, Zhao Qi was very relieved, so he gave some realistic questions to talk about.

Zhao Qiong, who was loyal, brave and powerful, must admit that there is indeed a gap between the Song army and the Jin army, which had just risen for several years. However, the gap between the two armies is neither in equipment nor in quantity. As everyone knows, war relies on

Economy, economic support war, war is largely a contest of economic strength.

However, regardless of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, the Jin Dynasty was far behind the Northern Song Dynasty, which was the best in the world at that time. As for human resources, at the beginning of the war against the Song Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty's jurisdiction was estimated to be only more than one million households. And this

However, the period was the most populous period in the Song Dynasty. The total number of households in the country exceeded 20 million, ten times that of the Jin Dynasty at that time. In terms of material resources, the Jurchen society was still in a semi-primitive and semi-slave society. At the beginning of entering the Central Plains, it was a matter of agriculture.

The importance is still unknown, and its material resources are very limited. After a century and a half of stable development and long-term accumulation, Song Dynasty was known as "China and foreign countries, the grain of rice has reached its peak in the years, and the peace has lasted for a long time, and the treasury has been overflowing", and military expenses have been even more

It accounts for seven or eight in ten

Even in terms of military power, the total number of troops of the Jin Dynasty was less than 200,000 at that time, but the number of troops invested in the war of attacking the Song Dynasty was only more than 100,000, and the number of troops at Kaifeng was only 80,000. The total number of troops of the Song Dynasty was about one million.

Although the lack of equipment is serious, the troops that can be invested in the Anti-Jin War are still several times that of the Jin army. As for its equipment, Shen Kuo once pointed out: "The artifacts, armor and armor are extremely skillful in the past and ancient times; the prosperity of military equipment is in the past life.

There is no comparison." Although this statement is suspected of bragging, the production level of weapons such as bow tubes and swords in the Northern Song Dynasty undoubtedly exceeded that of the Jin Kingdom, which relied on imports and seized.

Why did the country lose its power? In a word, military and political **. In China, the people are more important than the king, and sovereignty is more important than the people. This is an ancient concept that has a long history. Thinkers say this is a valuable ideal; if rulers say this, they often say this.

It is a lie that deceives others. Zhao Ji often boasts of being diligent and honest: "Diligent in politics, so as to strive for the loss of the world; frugality in the family, so as to benefit the richness of the world." He also made many promises to benefit the people

, saying things like "business wants to lead to Li Yuanfu", Zhao Qi couldn't help but scold his father for saying nonsense!

"Now the 'Six Thieves' are citing their relatives, forming gangs, selling official positions and titles, corruption and abuse of power, and plundering people's wealth and omission. Their methods are used to the extreme, and their confidants are broken!" Chen Dong said gritting his teeth.

"The thieves in the square were just settled, and the Heshuo in the Xijian River. The thieves in Shandong rose up. The big ones attacked the cities, the small ones spread to the rocks and valleys, the many tens of thousands, and the few gathered together. All of them were because of the government affairs, Wang Fu, Cai Jing and others.

He controlled the government, and the government was in trouble, and the corvee service was promoted, which made the people unable to survive, so they turned into stealing one after another." Chen Guoting said in a heartache.

"You are all honest and honest people. Things in the southeast cannot be repeated in the northwest. I cannot control other places, but the northwest cannot make these people messy and chaotic. People are living in poverty. These borers must be removed from the northwest!" Zhao Qi took a photo of the next case.

It is said that now is the most political and darkest period in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty and even in China. And the ** is not a general ***, but a comprehensive and hopeless institutional ****, and

**It is an iron historical law to be beaten.

"The prince has the ambition to deal with corruption and complain about corruption, which is a blessing for all the people in the northwest. The officials and others are willing to ask for their orders for the people, and they will not hesitate to take their heads on their necks!" Xu Zongheng stood up and said, most of them were because they were not accustomed to the actions of those corrupt officials.

, he was excluded, so his proposal to the prince hit it off.

"You don't care about your head, how can I care about this passion? Let's just let it go, I will bear everything!" Zhao Qi said.

"Prince, local officials are also mixed up, with connections between the top and the bottom, and there are many dark stories. We must be careful and make plans for the long term. Judge Chen was once the chief censor. The lower officials thought that it was for him to take charge of this matter, so would Shaoyang assist him from the side?"

Suggested.

"Do you two have any objections?" Zhao Qiong had this idea. One was an expert and the other was a passionate young man. The two were just right, but he did not agree without authorization. Instead, he sought the opinions of the two parties involved and met them.

He nodded and said again: "Okay, don't have any worries. As long as you violate the rules, we will punish you according to the law, no matter whether he is a relative of the Jade Emperor or a friend of the Buddha!"

After hearing this, everyone was excited again and felt that they were following the right person. Naturally, they were extremely excited. Although they had already updated the second time, they were not tired at all.

"Everyone, although the anti-corruption and governance of officials can win the hearts of the people, the war in the northwest has lasted for more than ten years, the treasury has been exhausted, the granaries have no grains of rice, and self-sufficiency is insufficient. Now tens of thousands of refugees are pouring in, and it is difficult to maintain it. If this king does not come out, it is not enough to be found.

As expected, although a large amount of grain and grass were seized last year, it was difficult for Hedong to maintain grain until June. I was afraid that it would be relieved until the autumn harvest. If the food in these few months could not be solved, the hungry people would also cause trouble, and they would inevitably disrupt the Northwest.

!" Zhao Qi raised another question.

"What the prince said is very much. This matter is unclear and the people's hearts are still uneasy. Xixia wants to attack the border again. The two of them may re-enact the disaster in the southeast!" Xu Zongheng nodded, and the excitement of the people just now was dispelled a lot.

Without food and money, nothing can be done, and I fell into silence for a moment.

"Prince, the subordinate has another plan. I don't know if it's feasible?" Zhou Xingji, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said.

"Sir, please speak!" Zhao Qi said hurriedly.

"Prince, wars in the northwest were frequent in the past. The court used salt as bait to lure merchants to transport grain and aid the border thousands of miles, but Cai Jing repeatedly changed the salt law, resulting in no trust in salt banknotes. Now that Wang Fu is in power, he has to cancel the Ministry of Justice.

The Western Expedition captured Yanzhou and captured a large number of salt ponds. It can be followed by the previous method and issued salt banknotes to exchange salt for grain to make up for the deficiency!" Zhou Xingji said.

"Well, this strategy is very good. The Southeast people's rebellion, the salt fields are destroyed, and the sea salt is almost no production, and the salt removal output is decreasing day by day, resulting in a soaring price of salt. If the green and white salt enters the Central Plains, it can reduce the salt price and allow us to obtain grain.

, It's a good thing, but the salt banknote collapses. How can we win the trust of merchants still need to be discussed in detail!" Yang Shi nodded and said...)
